True shocker, commonly known as Andrei Tarkovsky's debut, but Letterbox shows three more earlier? NVM
It does seem a bit hardcore to go into Tarkovsky from The Mirror, and finally get a taste of Tarkovsky's charms in this one, with its excellent level of color composition that is surprising for a director just starting out. I really like the music in this one, it's moving enough to be jarring.
The attributes of working class storytelling that belonged to Soviet filmmakers are also thoroughly discussed here, and what could be less dramatically tense than a date between a petty violin kid and a worker? It's a different kind of realism, that of creating that subject that reality has yet to discuss, more realistic than reality.
Tower's experimentation comes into its own in this one.
